I don't like it but I have little hope that the humanity will abolish the "appoint others to die for the tribe" business anytime soon (within my lifetime, or in 1000 years, or at all). Coercion is still such a powerful tool i

I think we all need constant monitoring and certification that we're not shitting our pants. Because, you know, shitting one's pants is bad, so we totally need some patroling to save people from this. Can we count as a civilized s

Q: How to be kind? A: To not be aggressive. The problem is, depending on the environment and personal positions, kindness isn't necessarily the most useful option, and even if everyone likes it, kindness doesn't necessarily sustai
